Why does the vertical component of velocity for a projectile change with time, whereas the horizontal component of velocity does

not change?

Answer

When a body moves in projectile motion it has two components. One of the components is a horizontal component of the velocity and another is a vertical component.

The velocity along the horizontal component does not change because there is no acceleration long horizontal component.  

Whereas velocity along vertical direction keeps on changing because the acceleration due to gravity is acting on the object. At a maximum height of the projectile velocity is equal to zero.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Explanation:

To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

K.E\geq P.E

or

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 \geq  G\dfrac{Mm}{R}

where m is the mass of the asteroid, R= 24,000,000\:m is its distance form earth's center, M = 5.9*10^{24}kg is the mass of the earth, and G = 6.7*10^{-11}m^3/kg\: s^2 is the gravitational constant.

Solving for v we get:

v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R} }

putting in numerical values gives

v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2(6.7*10^{-11})(5.9*10^{24})}{(24,000,000)} }

\boxed{v\geq 5739.5m/s}

in kilometers this is

v\geq5.7395m/s.

Hence, the minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.
